A Cup Full Of Spring

Spring time brings new colors and flowers! 

Using paints, they were spread to create the background.  Then stamps add some of the interest.  A cup was stamped and colored.  Then, it was filled with leaves and flowers.  Buttons were used for the flower center.

Thank you for stopping by and enjoy your spring.  The birds are starting to sing each morning!

American Girl

I am having so much fun with these face stencils because you can take them as far as your imagination goes!  

Using a fine point sharpie, the face was added to the card stock.  Stamps were used to add the hair.  Stencils were used for the stars and the background.  Her face has happy birthday stamped in a very light color.

When I think of hugs, kisses and birthday wishes, I think of a mother who gives birth.  What a miracle when each new life enters the world.  I think of the hugs, kisses and love you have for the new child.  That is the inspiration for this card.  I live in the USA so she bears the colors of her country.

Brew-tiful

Hi stamping friends!  Have you had a chance to play along with this month's theme or sketch?  It is a brew-tiful challenge as it features coffee/tea!  STAMPlorations also has all their coffee/tea stamps in the coffee/tea lovers area for easy shopping...now that is my cuppa Joe!!

I adore the Abandoned Coral Distress ink and it pairs so well with kraft paper.  It seems uncolored images are popping up all over social media so today this card is joining the trend!  By adding pops of color, it works.

The kraft paper is stamped in brown ink.  The coffee image was stamped and fussy cut.  The heart and sentiment strip was stamped and embossed.  Now, to dip the coffee die cut in that lovely Abandoned Coral!!  All the elements were added and the card was finished with a few sequins.

Life is busy so take time to smell the coffee and stamp!!

Good Day Sunshine Mail Art

Don't just make it...mail it!

This fun mail art creates a scene of kids having fun  at the lake.  This envelope started by stamping the image and then masking off the address area.  The rays of sunshine were added through a stencil.  Then the leaves were added using a stencil.  Lastly, the sentiment was stamped twice.

  Thanks for stopping by and have a sunshiney day!
